Empty Cups

You were looking away towards the trees There was a time you used to listen closer to me As close as the air is to the sea So close I could feel you breathe "How we got here?", I'd say quietly As quietly as those same trees grew to shade One day at a time and further away Further and further, further away Now my hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a little too much To keep the newness from wearing off For every start, thеre's gonna be a stop You're lеaving now through the hole of an argument I guess for a while you've been looking for the exit You slammed the door so hard, I still hear rattling spoons The sound of silence rings in every room The last talk left me a makeup rainbow of tears Turned everything blurry, I can't see a thing from here I tried so hard to make myself clear Life can't help but interfere You used to lean in like I was whispering Any excuse to get near again I still miss the way you lean in What happened between now and then And my hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a little too much To keep the newness from wearing off For every start, there's gonna be a stop I was always a sucker for your wrist at my cheek There was a time when I was everything And I tried so hard to make myself clear Somehow life interfered Now my hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a little too much To keep the newness from wearing off For every start, there's gonna be a stop My hands are two empty cups Maybe I was asking for a little too much To keep the newness from wearing off For every start, there's gonna be a stop
